Britney Spears is to host the opening of a Las Vegas nightclub next month.
The Toxic singer will open the latest branch of LAX nightclubs, whose investors include Christina Aguilera and Nicole Richie's former fiancé DJ AM.
A LAX representative said on Tuesday: "Britney Spears will host the grand opening."
It is not known if the 25-year-old will perform at the launch in Las Vegas' Luxor Hotel on August 31.
Meanwhile, it has been revealed Britney - who is working on a new album - is now acting as both her business manager and publicist.
The mother-of-two is still signed to Jive records, but has severed ties with manager Larry Rudolf, her mother Lynne, and her publicist.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "She is doing all of her own business now."
Britney was spotted at New York restaurant Aspen on Tuesday "signing contracts" believed to be linked to her appearance at the LAX opening party. - Bang Showbiz
Britney Spears strips for impromptu ocean swim

Britney Spears stripped down to her underwear for an impromptu swim in the sea.
The 'Toxic' singer, who had been house hunting in the Malibu heat, decided to run onto the beach and cool down in the ocean.
Although she didn't have any swimming attire with her, Britney decided that her shocking pink bra and skimpy knickers would do.
An eye-witness said, "She squealed with delight as she and her friend splashed about in the waves."
She was then carried back to her car by a male friend.
Earlier this week, it was reported Britney had a "shocking slapfest" with her mother.
The 25-year-old star was said to have flown into a rage when her mother, Lynne, arrived at her house uninvited and started attacking Britney's parenting skills last month.
A source said, "Lynne barged into the house and insisted on taking the kids out to spend some private time with them. She didn't ask or suggest, she demanded. Then she began denigrating Britney's mothering skills and losing her temper at the same time.
"Britney and Lynne had a shocking slapfest. It left Lynne shaken and Britney more determined than ever to cut her mother out of her life for good."
The physical fight is believed to have taken place just days after Britney allegedly handed Lynne a legal order banning her from seeing her grandsons, 22-month-old Sean Preston and 10-month-old Jayden James, while she is on medication.
Lynne is allegedly considering filing a countersuit.
Britney also reportedly gave Lynne an angry poem, in which she claims she has "no mom."
i hate her mom!!! whu cant she just support her!!!

Pop star Christina Aguilera has defended fellow singer Britney Spears' parenting skills, insisting she is a great mother.
The Beautiful hitmaker - who is reportedly expecting her first child with husband Jordan Bratman - says the pressures of childhood fame have taken its toll on her pal Spears - but she is not a bad parent.
She says, "Britney is a good person and a good mom.
"She's been under so much pressure since she was a child. I don't think any of us should judge her or jump to conclusions.
"She loves her boys (Sean Preston and Jayden James) and they're turning out great."

Our insider says:
She also did all the choreography for it. This is her baby and is excited for all her fans to see it when it airs. She has been working extremely hard even though many fail to give her credit for it.”
When we asked how the shooting went in general, our insider said:
“A couple of extras were giving the crew attitude on set, since they were asked to work pro-bono (for free), but apart from that and a few glitches, we were able to finish the video on time.”
Britney's official German website has just announced that the name of the first single is not GET BACK and that a clip of GET BACK has indeed leaked but it is just a demo so far....NOT THE FIRST SINGLE. Get Back was only confirmed as a song on the album not the actual single, it was widely speculated it was but it isnt!
I cant wait to see this video.
